Today our company switched cell phone carriers and we all got new phones. Some time back while on Tmobile I purchased this little diddy to satiate my iphone cravings and move into the world of luxury mobile OS and touchscreen tekmology.
This phone was the neezies, beautiful 4.3" screen, android froyo OS, functionally useful and free apps, big enough screen to legitimately surf the internet, 4G speed, mobile hotspot, tethering so I can screw around at work, awesome for watching movies, and best of all a fucking badass touchscreen keyboard which I could type like a demon on, with fully threaded chat messaging.
Well our dipshit CEO got annoyed that he couldnt get reception with Tmobile in the boonies when he's shooting deer on the weekends, so he decided to switch us all to fucking verizon, just so he could call his hillbilly friends and tell them to bring the moonshine.
Yeah baby, check out that 1.5" screen. No touchscreen device here, fuck that shit we use TRACKBALLS. Want to read an email? View that shit in 2 colors nigga, black and white. HTML graphics are for pussies. So is texting, which is why you'll be doing it with tictac sized keys, so your fragile little fingers better man up and get used to pushing buttons instead of a touchscreen.
Man I really cant even go on any further, this shit is so depressing. Total fucking gimp cellphone incapable of shit. Damnit I miss my phone.
I'm a long time scbw and poker fan, I've been lurking here for a while. Started playing poker in late October after reading all the ballin shit rekrul has written, also I've got plenty of free time so what the heck.
Goals:
-practice tilt control (and get some stop loss limits)
-less spewing
-not play 6max (lost like 20$ in 2k hands roflwtf)
-play more regularly and atleast 25k hands this month. I only play on 4-6 tables.
Finally free of the "online poker effect"by whamm!, December 02
After quitting for 2 months now. It was hard to detox myself out of the rut poker imbedded in me. My mistake for not living a more balanced life for more than 4 years now, first time ever ive done this and it feels great. Im not even thinking about poker anymore, except for the fact that LP is still one the only few sites I NEED to check daily lol. No money less problems I guess, but the break is definitely worth it. I plan to get back to the grind next year but I'll have something on the side to do which keeps me from just
playing all day. I hope poker is kinder next year but I'm not too worried since I'm a lot less miserable and lonely now that I got some other stuff totally non-poker related to do everyday. Poker money is still easy and quick but I can't see myself doing this for another 2 years, so at least next year is a start!!!
good luck guys
When I first got into online poker, I could only do free money. After a while, I rocked. I was able to get a BI at multiple limits per hour at limit hold em. So I put down ten bucks, started doing .02/.04 six-handed limit. At first, I was making the same rate, a buy in per hour. Then, I switched over to NL. Worst idea I have ever made.
Now, after about six or so charges later, I'm back down to one dollar. Either I'm playing the wrong limits, or I'm just a horrible fish that thinks he's actually really good. I wanted to really get into the ante tables, because I know those people are much better players. I did try a few times, one time I lost a charge in one hand. AA v KK preflop. Now, I'm desperate not to resort to the free rolls until I get some more change going. I'm going back to limit.
I never really set a goal for poker, it was just to play an hour or two at a time. Nothing changed when I switched to NL. Still no goal. Now, my goal is to actually follow good bankroll management, even though I'm starting with a dollar. With one dollar BIs, I'm going up to forty bucks until I go to two buck BIs, the next limit. Going with twenty BIs per limit, my final goal is to get up to 250 bucks. That way I can play the twenty-five dollar BI for those ante tables.

I have been practicing some serious table selection now that I am playing standard full ring tables. Poker is a lot easier when you find sick fish and make sure they sit on your right.
Still don't really like the slow rate of hands being played but my thought process has felt almost perfect since I slowed down. I just need to put in more hours and continue to isolate the weaker players.
Nice results considering I didn't play at all this month. Went prob 4 times to the live game tho and man, that shit is crazyy. Won a 3.3k pot set x TP+FD x FD, on this day I was sitting with 3000bb, almost all the chips in play, game broke cuz of me for the third time (only 1000bb profit there tho)
After 85 days I already hit my 200k VPP goal, sick grind is done for this year I guess, gonna play still a bit this month but then just gonna go travel the world a bit, buy a car, ballouttacontrol, enjoy life in general, and get back to this on february to *maybe* go for SNE! We'll see. (fwiw to make SNE I will have to play around 300 games/day for 10 months. Most HUsngs regs consider impossible for anyone to play 100/day for a couple months in a row. Gonna be fun to try to go for it.) Results for last 85 days:
this stupid promotion is killing all the fish at rush tables. everyone is a damn nit and im too stubborn and ignorant to adjust to it. down 7 BIs. with this speed ill need the 250$ bonus to be breakeven. i wish this stupid promo hasnt been there!
someone please tell me how to NOT play rushpoker anymore. normal ring games are so boring!
Had a decent winning month after the disaster that was October. Only averaging 20k hands a month but nearly 50 cents/hand is certainly a good result. Made about 10.5k after rakeback/tourneys. I felt like I could've made more but the first half of the month was just so unbelievably swingy, making crawling out of a downswing take some serious effort. I'm going to try playing some 50PLO on the side this month during downtime, since I always say I'm going to make an active effort at PLO but never really go through with it. Feel free to PM me if you're a low limit PLO player, if you'd like to toss ideas and hhs around, etc.
I was making a good hourly progress, hoping to put in at least 90 hours in the month but instead I ended up with around 70. On the 24th, Gran Turismo 5 came out and since then I've probably averaged 8 hours a day playing that game. If anyone wants to race pm me for my PSN name . I'm currently level 18 on both A and B spec (I grind B spec while I eat/am afk).
Here are some pictures I shot with the photo camera mode, which are now my desktop wallpapers. I decided to upload them in case anyone else was interested. Not an awesome photographer, for REALLY nice pics check out http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/dig...y-gran-turismo-5-tech-analysis?page=6 (scroll down to Bonus Goodies: PSP Import and Photo Mode)

I drive a G37 and am a HUGE fan of the classic Skyline tail lights. This is a matte black High End Performance G37 (from SEMA 2008)
Hoping to wrap up the year well, and make 2011 very productive as I begin my journey to become an awesome PLO player, simulation racer, rock star, entrepreneur all at the same time!
getting back into the swing of thingsby collegesucks, November 30
i've been away from online poker for the past 8 months because hon/cfa studies/managing the family store/hon/hon kept me from playing actively
i did go back to the tables at my local casino the past few weeks and i've done really well (10k first 2 weeks at 1/2 which is rly sick then down 3k ish at 2/5 lol)
i'm thinking about getting back to the online tables prob start out at 100nl and move my way back up
i have a cfa exam this saturday so wish me luck
gl everyone
ps. props to all the low stakes regs who've progressed tremendously during my absence (jolin, mnj, etc etc)
Started the month running really hot until about the 15th, took some shots at 200nl, ran like crap and had to move back down.
Also made decent $$ from fpps. Overall november was pretty swingy.
Well after being insanely nervous about moving up to NL 100 Rush - looks like it went well. Started on the 12th (Was in LA playing live poker the first 1/2 of month) and ran into quite a bit of trouble at first. But everything smoothed out and I got comfortable and activated beast mode.
I'm really excited about December as it could be, by far, my biggest winning month ever in terms of overall profit. I have a $500 Black Card bonus I will clear, I plan on winning the rake race for $750, and to do so I will generate about $1500 in rakeback. Ship a decent 20 buy in month and I'll be looking at $4750 in the green. Cheers and good luck.
